Good stuff. I have always been of the opinion that in markets where owning can be cheaper than renting that programs like this that can get a cash poor buyer over the hump are well worth it.

Hi J. Phil!

It is a big deal here in the metro for low income buyers to be afforded the opportunity to become home owners. Offering Home Buyers classes adds a second level of assurance for buyers who thought they could never attain the dream of owning a home.

Have a great day!
